TCU women take out Houston Baptist 3-0

The TCU women's soccer team let its offense do the talking on Sunday as they tallied a season-high three goals to take down Houston Baptist by the score of 3-0 Sunday.

TCU (6-4-1) kept the pressure on the Huskies for most of the game, outshooting HBU, 22-17. The Frogs had nine different players combine to unleash 10 shots on goal. Seven players had at least two shots in the game, led by freshman Tori Hale with five strikes.

"I'm proud of the way we played in another tough Sunday afternoon match," TCU head coachDan Abdallasaid. "You can really see the character of a team when you are playing in the heat and on the road.Ashlea Bullingtonwas solid in goal for us for the second-straight game and we converted on a couple of our scoring chances. We are starting to find a rhythm on offense and this was a good sign of us moving forward as we head into the conference schedule."

Hale didn't waste much time getting the Horned Frogs on the scoreboard, netting the first goal of her college career at the 0:24 mark on an assist from Calhoun. The Abilene, Texas native has led TCU in shot attempts all season long and her first goal put TCU up early 1-0.

Calhoun followed with her fifth goal of the year to begin the second half. The goal came in the 52nd minute on a ball sent in from senior defender Katie Taylor . The strike was her 5th goal in her last 6 matches. Calhoun has scored in 5 of her 7 starts this year.

TCU will enjoy a week of practice this week before hitting the road to open Mountain West Conference play at UNLV Friday.
